The NBC Sports Group has signed Scott Pioli to appear on its NFL studio show, Football Night in America.

Pioli, the former NFL Executive of the Year when he helped build the New England Patriots into a three-time Super Bowl champion, will also appear on Pro Football Talk with NFL Insider Mike Florio.

This is a newly created position and Pioli will do both studio work and report from the road.

"Scott is an intelligent, articulate and well-respected NFL front office veteran, who brings a new element to our NFL coverage," said Sam Flood, executive producer, NBC Sports & NBC Sports Network in a release. "We are thrilled to welcome him to our team. His front-office voice will complement those of our former head coach, former players, and NFL Insiders."

Most recently Pioli was the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs.

"After more than two decades serving in NFL front offices, I'm excited to be part of the coverage of the league by joining NBC Sports' NFL team and the NBC family," said Pioli. "I look forward to sharing my experiences of the inner workings of NFL front offices to viewers and fans."
